Dragon’s Daughter Skadi

Dragon’s Daughter
Skadi

The story

Coming from a long royal line of kings and queens, Skadi was always told of her destiny – to rule the land as a benevolent and wise queen. She was raised in decadence in her childhood, but a violent revolt threw her from her palace. She was left to fend for herself in the wilds.

First stage: Desert Wanderer (Lvl. 1-5)
Skadi wanders the wild, adopting the simple and rough attire of the commoners. She carefully nurtures her dragon hatchling, Kaldr, whose egg was bestowed on Skadi during her travels. The hatchling is curious and shows great intelligence, and has taken to Skadi as his mother.
*Notes: During this stage, Kaldr tries to flap his wings to fly when idle, but falls down quickly. When ordered to attack, he charges enemies with a headbutt.

Second stage: Savvy Diplomat (Lvl. 6-10)
Skadi seeks her rightful throne, and now wears a royal blue dress. She amasses a host of army and wins over the loyalty of talented advisors. Kaldr has grown and now can always be seen playfully flying along Skadi. He can now hunt small animals for himself, but still far from a formidable weapon to be used against enemies.
*Notes: Kaldr now hovers next to Skadi and flies to attack enemies.

Third stage: Regal Aristocrat (Lvl. 11-15)
Skadi climbs the social ladder and becomes a respected lady, adorned in a gold-flecked elegant dress. Her charisma charmed rulers and commoners alike, but she still has a further goal in mind. Kaldr never strays far from his mother, threatening anyone who dares to defile Skadi.
*Notes: Kaldr leaps to enemies, similar to Camazots’ leap.

Final stage: Dragon Queen (Lvl. 16-20)
Skadi ascends to the throne in a stunning white dress decorated in scale embroidery. She has become the legendary queen and is beloved by her subjects. Kaldr is a fully mature dragon, whose fires continue to char all who challenges the Dragon Queen.
*Notes: Two pieces of long cloth resembling wings drape on Skadi’s shoulders, and they move up and down in the wind. Kaldr is made as big as possible given the hitbox but his wings are folded. He walks like a Drake mount on the ground in World of Warcraft and breathes fire similar to Fafnir in his dragon form.

Transitions:
Skadi briefly bursts into flames and emerges with her new form. Fire cannot harm her as she is herself born from flame.

Hairstyle:

The inspiration

Skadi’s design is inspired by Daenerys from Game of Thrones, and the Amazons from Wonder Woman. Her dresses are feminine and convey power. She is a mother, a daughter, and a queen. The split dresses make it easier to move in. Flatter eyebrows and lower cheekbones help distinguish her from the default Jotunn facial structure. Her voice pack should be similar to Daenerys or Diana, feminine and powerful at the same time.

Kaldr’s design is inspired by Daenerys’ dragon, Drogon, and Toothless from How to Train a Dragon. In the first two stages, he is cute like Toothless but becomes a menacing force like Drogon as he grows.

Abilities

Skadi’s basic attack is inspired by the Lightning Spear in the Dark Souls series. Lightning is deadly to dragons, and Skadi can subjugate any dragons wielding it. Skadi’s Piercing Cold similarly resembles the Sunlight Spear attack. She does not hold a physical spear; when attacking, lightning gathers from thin air and shapes into a spear in her hand. Skadi holds the bolt high and throws back her elbow to unleash the bolt.

For Rune of the Hunt, red fire runes replace the default icy blue ones. Kaldr’s target is now marked by a dragon symbol.

Permafrost creates a patch of lava hot ground charred by Kaldr’s fiery breath, making enemies’ footing unstable, while Skadi revels on it and gains speed.

During Winter’s Grasp, Skadi and Kaldr radiate dragonfire to burn and trap enemies. A ring of fire appears around them and waves of fire pulsate outwards. (Alternatively: a fiery recolor of the default effects)
